5 Things We Loved at New York Fashion Week: Kanye West’s Tête-à-Tête with Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs’s Set, and More

The last day of New York Fashion Week began with a bang when Kanye West joined the extended Lauren clan in the front row at Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2015 show, and the hit parade continued apace, from the covetable Calvin Klein collection to Marc Jacobs’s always hotly anticipated showing at the Park Avenue Armory, this time fashioned after iconic Vogue editor Diana Vreeland’s “Garden in Hell” apartment. Here are all the best moments from the day:

1. A Mutual Admiration Society at Ralph Lauren:Huma Abedin and First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray were among the boldface names at Ralph Lauren’s fall 2015 show this morning, but all eyes were on Kanye West, who sat with the extended Lauren clan and joined in their standing ovation at the close of the show. Clearly, the feeling is mutual.

2. Calvin Klein Delivers Some Major Coat Game: We are admittedly very partial to notable toppers, but Francisco Costa seriously stepped up the game with a series of luxurious skins (black needle-punched hair calf, blush patchwork shearling!) cut in vaguely sixties-inspired tailored trenches. Swoon.

3. Edie Parker’s New Squeeze:Brett Heyman of Edie Parker proved that she’s got more than one trick up her sleeve with the addition of her soft Lara clutch—a bag that, with a flexible suede midsection, truly earns its name—to her always coveted acrylic jewel box bags.

4. Hands-Free is the Way To Be: From Pernille Teisbeck’s Céline Bumbag to the rebel yell styles that strutted across the grassy knoll at Marc by Marc on Tuesday, it seems like hands-free is the way to be. Which isn’t even to mention the fur muffs that set crowds swooning at Michael Kors—let’s just say: it’s all in the bag.

5. MJ <3’s DV: Marc Jacobs graduated from sporting pajamas fashioned after iconic Vogue editor Diana Vreeland’s “Garden In Hell” decorated apartment to casting his fall 2015 show there: The inside of the Park Avenue Armory was transported back to the divine DV’s digs, replete with Marc Jacobs–dressed waiters serving tumblers of vodka. As if we couldn’t love Marc more: It was the perfect way to end New York Fashion Week.
